Sixers 98 Celtics 89

It Was Over When....

Kyle Kolver hit a three pointer to start the 2nd quarter. The shot, which seemed inconsequential at the time, put the Sixers up by 7, there largest lead of the game at the time. Incredibly following Korver's shot the Celtics would come no closer than within 4 points of the Sixers for the remainder of the night.

The Game Ball Goes To....

Andre Iguodala with a career high 31 points and 9 assists, Kevin Ollie with 14 points and 8 assists, Samuel Dalembert with 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Kyle Kolver with 14 points off the bench.

The Stat Of The Game Is....

28 as in 28 assists as a team for the Sixers and 9 as in only 9 turnovers as a team for the Sixers on the night, to 16 and 15 respectively for the Celtics as a team on the night. If you can take care of the ball and spread it around, and hit the open shots when you get them as Sixers did, you win, but if you don't take good care of the ball and you don't spread it around all that well, then you lose as the Celtics did.

The Bottom Line Is....

It's over, it's finally over. After 12 embarrassing losses the Sixers' losing streak has come to an end and the fact that it came against their archrival Boston Celtics makes it even sweeter. All I can say is thank God it's over.
